New scope for air rifle. Suggestions?
Hey everyone I'm new to the site and I've been looking for a new scope for my gamo big cat. I'm just wondering what y'all have used and what ya like. Thanks!

Any cheap .22 plinker scope would do, one would think.
I like the Barska on my .22 that I got from walmart for 35 bucks, I wouldn't overthink an air rifle scope. |
you could always buy a dovetail to weaver adapter and place a 4-12 x 36 on it... :)
|
Looked like the big cat had a rail on it... don't know much about air rifles though.
For the price of those new, I would have picked up another Marlin 795. |

I Have A Gamo Viper .177 awesome Small Game Gun. I Have A 3x9x40 Bushnell on Mine.
Holds the Zero Well from the recoil of the spring. Very Accurate |
I have a day state ranger with a mtc 4-12-44 on it,crystal clear optics with good features on it. Look them up on the net not sure who would sell them in usa maybe airguns of arizona,
Look at there sight as well. Exceptional scope for the money ,worth a look. John Australia |
If you are wanting to put a scope on an air rifle, you will need an air rifle scope that will withstand the rear-ward recoil from an air rifle. Most scopes will/do not withstand it for long. We have put scopes over $400 and had them crap out in under 100 shots due to this. I have a Leupold air gun scope on my R1 and use it for ADC work. I have used it for over 20yrs and it is still dead nuts on at 20yds.
